The person in the image above reported and repeated the claims about AI’s potential to wipe out humanity without irony or sceptism on a recent video. I used to watch her but found her tangled neverending analogies tiresome… Always something like “XYZ is spending money like an ABC, with an QRS sized hole In the money bucket while DEF does ZZZ to scoop up the dropped pennies… we all know what that is like, don’t we?”.
I think magazines (like newspapers) are sale or return. If they sell, the distributer collects some $ from the retailer. If they don’t sell, they have to come and take them back. It would be bad for business if people carried one around the store while they shopped, but changed their mind before they got to the checkout.
Maybe the bill will get an amendment. Maybe a 2nd amendment is required.
I have found that if I hug the kerb, the overtakers driver side wheel barely kisses the centre white line. If I get in the middle of the lane, they generally wait until it’s safe to pass and then get both sets of wheels over the line. Added bonus of some room between me and the kerb if I need to take evasive action.
Work is an interesting point. Maybe working with a computer (a till, a barcode scanner, a stock checker, a multimeter) will be the thing that gets people scooped up and compliant first - even if you are using a work device, on a work network, on the business premises. If you want the $10 an hour: “gotta scan your ID, or you can’t activate the wafflegrill”
It’s annoying that Cloudflare is basically facilitating / enabling the proliferation of the “zero click” internet that a handful of the worlds richest people are so keen on… And while they are encouraging site owners to hold the door open for AI, Cloudflare continues to punish actual human website visitors with their “are you human” barriers to entry. It would be nice if some of the people running it actually valued the internet a little bit ffs.
Yeah, but: AI is important and valuable to millions of people… But only as a search engine. And only because Google ruined their own web search engine on purpose. Governments are making AI data centres part of national infrastructure (like rail or roads) when we should have forced Google to do the right thing with similar laws and protections against the enhshitefication of it. Give us back a good Google, and the use case for AI disappears (along with the threat of humanity destruction) overnight.
Richard Branson is on a big AstroTurf PR tabloid inch buying jaunt following several recent exposé on apparent similarities between Branson and Jeffrey Epstein. This might be why he keeps emerging from his nonsense island to do photoshoots and hunt virgins enemies (like Eurostar)
I saw Eli Computer Guy on YT yesterday describing how “you don’t allow the intern full access/permissions/privileges to delete the production database”. Swap “AI” for “intern” in the marketing material and the real culprit is clear - it’s the person who left the door open without any foresight or common sense. You can’t blame the intern.
It’s a literal $50b pay day for OpenAI (and the sole motivation for why they keep announcing it, attempt to change what it means, or try to claim it has been reached)
Fictions? It’s easy to make a mistake isn’t it. We could all be victims in the right circumstances. We can feel compassion and demand more severe punishments for banks that facilitate it (like in my industry) where everyone in the chain has to give the money back and/or give up the id of the party they gave the money to until a culprit is exposed - the victims bank refunds the victim, the bank the money was transferred to returns it to the victims bank, and so on. Where there is a will, there is a way.
True. Although I like how the headlines referring to the product as “pervert glasses” combined with headlines like this one leave little room for nuance. I hope the next logical step is for users to be forced to say “not all pervert glass wearers are sex offenders”. Embarrassment, shame, and ridicule is a better enforcement tool than any government action or restriction.
Gross. I see what you mean - has to be bait
Thank you for the translations. My mind still boggles. Is it accurate to sum this up as…
“Willow (human) received a thread of messages from their partner (human) who is dehumanising them by referring to them as a bot / claiming to be having a separate relationship with a bot that they created (based on Willows attributes) while intimating that Willow is also in a relationship with someone/something else?”
Check OP post / comment history - it’s a rage/troll/weird account. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was deliberately trying to make any/all AI scepticism look infantile and fanatical.
This is a very long video with a shitty title. The covered words are probably “How to [talk about] a Data Center”. I was expecting clear instructions on how to actually ████ a Data Center, but alas no joy.
Sorry - I meant “permission”, not cookie. If this is on (for Bluetooth headphones, sharing content, smart home etc) you could be leaking your location. If your partner shares their location, and you don’t - but you do allow your phone permission for nearby devices - your partners phone is revealing their own location, and their proximity to to you (your location). Third party cookies can be relevant for this because they allow browsers to identify/differentiate other users on the same network. If one user shares their location (or their location is known by the site they visited), then the other users on the networks location is also obtained.
One of the most pernicious cookies is the one that allows them to identify nearby devices. Even if you do not allow location specifically, consider exactly how much location data can be pieced together from that alone. It’s impossible to overestimate the amount of data they have on you.
The last couple of lines has me thinking this is satirical/sarcasm:
“…Following his embarrassing slip-up in February, Sutter vowed that he works “differently now” and is ready to immediately “distrust” anything an AI says” and “…when we pasted his latest piece for Nautilus into AI detecting tool Pangram — which is far from perfect — it informed us that 56 percent of the text appeared to be written by an AI”.
Weird - I was just browsing Lenovo store (hella expensive compared to a few years ago) and they are heavily pushing machines with Copilot+ - it’s really offputting
